The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 324
Chapter 324: The Summoning Test
“Demon-Transforming Beast.” Baili Jia Jue narrowed his eyes. His gaze brought out an unusual sense of chilliness as he heard these three words again.
Of course, Fire Qilin knew what was on his mind.
The Demon-Transforming Beast was different from other magical beasts. This type of beast had thoughts more complicated than humans. It could create illusions and even enter into the human body, controlling the human.
Back then, the Empress was once controlled by the Demon-Transforming Beast, that was the reason why Baili Jia Jue was being treated harshly, well, it was also partly due to the fact that the Empress never liked Baili Jia Jue since he was young.
When she was pregnant with Baili Jia Jue, the Emperor started to indulge in lust.
For that reason, she saw that child in her womb as a burden.
No matter how others convinced her that she could only live a glamorous life once she gave birth to the prince, her hatred toward Baili Jia Jue did not fade.
However, the Empress never claimed that she did not want the child, but she was planning to use the child to win over the heart of the Emperor.
What the Empress did not expect was that not only the Emperor did not have a change of heart, in turn, he spent an increased amount of time with Murong.
The Empress eventually cared less for Baili Jia Jue. In her mind, giving birth to a prince was the same as not giving birth at all.
After that, no matter how outstanding Baili Jia Jue was, they were all devalued in her eyes.
The heart of the Empress was filled with the Emperor, it was hard for her to put others into consideration.
Even if that person was her own son.
So, this gave the Demon-Transforming Beast a chance to possess her. It was much easier to control a person who had her own demons in the first place if compared to a normal person.
That day, the Empress called Baili Jia Jue into the palace, scolded and degraded him, then lunged at him.
Even though its presence and the fierce glare of His Highness scared the Demon-Transforming Beast away, but the damage had been done.
The Empress thought it was Baili Jia Jue who wanted to hurt her, holding a pair of scissors, she slashed Baili Jia Jue’s face, amidst the blurry blood.
Fire Qilin knew that it was not because its master could not dodge the scissor, but because he treated her as his dearest.
Instead, due to this incident, she sent him out of the palace due to fear.
Within a year, the Empress passed away, rumors had it that her body was too weak.
Fire Qilin knew that master had quite an unhappy childhood.
However, the more the master was in this condition, the more it needed him.
Thus, he had no comment regarding the actions of the Empress.
But now, the Demon-Transforming Beast reappeared.
Fire Qilin stretched his claws, his beastly brows furrowed tighter than usual.
Yet, Baili Jia Jue was actually thinking about another matter, his gaze was cold as he ordered the people beside him, “Go and check on the recent actions of the Battle Spirit Forces.”
Shadow withdrew respectfully.
The teacher stood in front and declared aloud, “May the test begin!”
God knows if it was bad luck or just pure coincidence.
Helian Wei Wei and Yun Biluo were grouped together.
Amid continuous laughter, there were people who started peeking toward Helian Wei Wei, knowingly or unknowingly. Their gaze showed the obvious irony of them waiting for the drama to happen.
As Qing Zhan paced over, she saw everything. She did not disturb the teacher who was in the middle of teaching the methods of summoning sacred beasts. When she saw Yun Biluo’s shallow smile, she swallowed all her words. She thought that Yun Biluo was not aware that Baili Jia Jue was in the academy. She wanted to wait until the test was over to talk to Helian Wei Wei.
It was impossible that Yun Biluo could not see through her hesitation as they were both death knights. She understood what was in the mind of the girl she saw growing up better than Qing Zhan herself.
Perhaps death knights were better at hiding their emotions in front of others.
But Yun Biluo was one step ahead because she could read the concealed emotions.
Yun Biluo smiled, but her gaze sunk. She thought for a moment. She had only left for a short time, and the heart of this girl was already biased toward outsiders.
Maybe Hei Zhu did not know that His Highness was in White Academy. However, as Helian Wei Wei’s closest servant, how could Qing Zhan not know about His Highness’s whereabouts?
Just that she did not want to tell her.
No matter if it was Qing Zhan or Shadow.
They were both the same.
Yun Biluo turned her eyes around, her sight fell on Helian Wei Wei.
By this time, the teacher had finished briefing everyone on the important matters, facing toward Yun Biluo, he said, “Biluo, demonstrate for everyone.”
“Yes.” Yun Biluo moved forward, her beautiful features always made others feel a special kinship toward her. With a flick of her finger, a sword appeared out of her palm. The whole sword was shining, accentuated by her gracefully flowing sleeves. She looked like a fallen angel. The teacher and students were attracted to every single move she made.
Helian Jiao Er saw this and smirked. She purposefully brushed past Helian Wei Wei and said, dripping with sarcasm, “You think you can rest easy because you are married to the Third Prince? Open your eyes and look closer, that’s who the Third Prince actually likes.”
“The reason why the Third Prince married you, other than to deal with the Retired Emperor, was to use you as her substitute. But look at yourself, you don’t have looks to offer, the only thing you know is martial arts, which she knows as well. The Third Prince hasn’t seen Miss Yun for now, but once he does, what do you think you would be worth of? You won’t even be worthy to carry her shoes.”
Having said all that, she expected to see Helian Wei Wei down in the dumps.
Out of her expectation, she only chuckled coldly and looked back at her. Two words then came out slowly from her thin lips, “Get lost.”
The facial expression of Helian Jiao Er turned hideous. Her fingers were creaking and her eyes spitefully stared at Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei pursed her thin lips, appeared as though she was unconcerned about infuriating people to death.
“I would like to see who would be the one who laughs until the end!” Helian Jiao Er flicked her sleeves and walked to the teacher’s side.
Yun Biluo supported the sword with her fingers, intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced at Helian Wei Wei, then said, “Wake up!”
A loud grumble sound was heard.
In the Forest of Fantasy behind the mountain, as if something had been summoned, there were sounds of roaring.
Only by the sound, everyone knew it would be huge!
The crowd looked at each other, then looked toward Yun Biluo admiringly.
Even the teacher ran his hands through his long beard and nodded with approval.
Yun Biluo raised her sleeves, and exclaimed, “Up!”
The roaring sound became even obvious and nearer. Double red wings soared from the woods, skimmed past the roofs, and finally stopped in front of Yun Biluo.
“It’s a double-winged beast!”
“Lord, I have never seen such a huge double-winged beast!”
“Look, guys! Its whole body is on fire! That’s amazing!”
The students were excited, but the teacher held all of them down, “Wait until it’s tamed, then only you all can go forward.”
A double-winged beast this big was not easy to tame…
